Was the mouse working under GPM?
What's your selected mouse configuration under X?
Which version of XFree86?
First: can you read the raw device? As root:
$ cat /dev/ttyS0 # (or /dev/ttyS1 or appropriate port)
< wiggle mouse. You should get screen junk >
^D # to quit
If this isn't working, you've got deeper problems.
Under XF86v3, the XF86Setup utility was pretty good for walking through
mouse configs. I've only just used xf86cfg, and found that the mouse
configs I tried didn't apply interactively, and I did a lot of editing
configs and launching second X sessions to test settings.
Peace.
